REVIEWS..
"Good radical stuff..." 24-7..
"...Singer-songwriter Victoria Klewin, whose incredible Joss Stone-esque voice and fun, quirky songs made her a big hit with the audience."- Lisa Willmot @ Mr Kyps..
"Victoria has a really remarkable voice that treads the slightly more unusual path between contemporary and classical. She makes a really unique sound and combines it with very stylistic songwriting to great effect." Rich Maya- 5unsigned
"For versatility, Victoria Klewin took the prize with her great voice that crossed many paths. She plays piano (sometimes) and opened with “Life Expectancy”, which was a great song that would not have been out of place in a West End musical. “Freedom Song” was very Laura Nyro, while “Minefield” was soulful jazz. An excellent set from a performer that we will be hearing about a lot in 2008". - Peter Coulston- Backstage Pass, seatwave.com..
